The ‘50 Things That Make Me Happy’ post has been around for a little while, and it always makes me smile. As we all need a bit of positivity lately, I thought it would be a nice idea to share my list with you ♥
I was a little bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to think of 50 things because it seems like such a big number, but actually, it was pretty easy once I got going.
You’ll find that there are so many simple pleasures out there if you take the time to look for them.
It can be all too easy to get caught up in negativity and forget about the things that make us happy, so it’s nice to be able to take time out to think about all the things that make us smile.

Here are the 50 things that make me happy

I totally forgot to mention friends!! ? And actually, now I think about it, there’s more I’d add to the list. I might change to 100 things that make me happy!
Love it! Looks like we got a lot in common!

Great idea! This would work really well as a personal exercise, with kids, or in the classroom, as well.
It’d be a great one to do with kids ? when my little boy is old enough i’ll start doing things like this with him ?
I feel like I should try this. I’ve been working so hard I kinda forgot what I love. “The smell of freshly baked bread” is DEFINITELY going on my list too haha!
I know how you feel, which is why I decided to do this ? I felt like I needed to slow down and remember what makes me happy.
This was lovely to read, and many of the things are my favourite things that are making me happy at the moment too!!
